    Those two "frees" don't convey the same meaning.


    And the feds still will come after you for taxes on income earned outside the US for 10 years after you renounce your citizenship. Yet more proof that the IRS is an evil entity and his first order of business on Trump's re-election should be to abolish it.
    If you don’t like the IRS, feel free to leave.
    Yeah, it’s ridiculous, but that’s precisely what’s at the core of these arguments. “Take everything as is, or fuck off...oh wait, except the things the author doesn’t like”.

    Everybody “hates” the IRS, until the majority realize that they don’t actually pay income tax, or receive more back than they actually pay in. They completely misunderstand how tax law and that division of the federal government actually function.
    Yes, wealth redistribution is bullshit. No, it doesn’t negatively affect as many people as some would like to believe.

    Secondly, yes, violent recourse is a problem. Protesting is not, and is protected specifically by the first amendment. Therefore, yeah, if you don’t like protests, leave.
